I don't work in PHP but have you tried $username without the ""'s usually in a lot of programming languages when you quote something it gives it literal value and not what the variable holds.

are you getting any errors or any sort of output at all with your current command.

You have to use double quotes on your ehco statement or variables are taken as literals.

echo "<p> <input type=\"text\" value=\"$username\"></p>";
